A SUDDEN REFORMATION.

How Mr.. McGraw, of Minneapolis,
Was Converted Into a PeaceabIe
Citizen.
There is young cOlOred man in the
city named McGraw who has until re-
Gently INDUCED in the belief that he
was, to quote his own words, "a ded
tuph COON" He has generally worn
cutlery collection ON his person which
he / as taken great pleasure in display
ing at opportune moments. A word of
dispute with him was to insure threat
ened carving matinee, for he would pull
a razor with the same nOnchalance with
which he would take his handker-
had obtained such reputation
for being dangerous charcter
that he secured few opportunities for
quarrel. The other night he attended
a cOlOred social event at st. Paul, when
his ideas of his prOwesS as fighter
were suddenly disabused. He had
picked out a du ky belle as his partner
i'll a Quadrille when he was approached
by a cOlOred gentleman who was dressed
i'll swallOw-tail coat among other gar
ments. The stranger addressed the
Minneapolis terror Sternly: "YO' can't
dance with dat iody." A look of mingled
uIlu ONcI
McGraw'S face. .'Yo' don't know me-"
he replied, and the next second he was
slashing wildly with his razor. He soon
stopped, however, for the stranger,
gracefully parting his coat tails, unlim-
bered a revolver about yard long
which carried bullet about the size of
an English walnut. The report was ter
rife, and the terrified desperate leaped
two feet in tie air when he saw himself
confronted by the miniature cannon
and feared its explosion. The other
people present at the dance nearly tore
the windows and doors of the room
down in their frantic efforts to escape,
while Mr.. McGraw with his death-deal-
ing razor withdrew from the scene with
great prOmptness. He did not return
to the dance, and it is understood that
he is no longer the wild. woolly terror of
the West, but a peaceable and orderly
citizen

Daily News.
The above is a fine and accurate likeness of
the new GLOBE building soon to be erected
in this city, work on which has already COM
menced. AS shown in the cut, the building
is to be eight stories in height, with front of
blue granite or superior red sandstone, and it
is the intention of the builders to make it the
handsomest and most imposing edifice in
the city. The details have not yet
been entirely arranged, so that de
tailed description of the inside arrange
ments cannot now be given. The building
will be erected by the Daily Globe Building
company, of which the incorporates are
Messrs. Lewis Baker T. j. Buxton, J. C. Os-
wald, A, Il. Ankeny and II. 7. Black. The
capital stock of the company is $500, 900.
The building is to be erected for the accom-
modatiOn of the Minneapolis edition of the
DAILY GLOBE, and.fo the purpose of giving
to Minneapolis better and more complete
morning news service through the GLOBE.
A fine pertecting press and complete outfit
has alreapy been ordered and will be set up
in the building, which will be completed next
June.
The GLOBE is the leading paper of the
Northwest and staunch and true Demo-
cratic organ, and Minneapolis ought to be
congratulated upon securing complete and
well equipped GLOBE bureau in this city, both
for the good of the party and the city The
News is pleased to witness this exhibition of
enterprise and prosperity, and heartily well
comes the GLOBE to Minneapolis.

THE CITY PARKS.
An Interesting DiscussiOn-PrO
jected improvements.

An Interesting DiscussiOn-PrO-
jected improvements.
AT the meeting of the park commits
sion yesterday there was quite lengthy
communication from G. NJ. LOring read,
in which he gave the views of the Chi
cago park commissioners on parks and
boulevards. They say that in Chicago
the first improvement made on bOule-
ward is paid for by the abutting prop
erty, but the park commission sprinkle
and maintain the boulevard afterward.
But the expense is SO great in maintain
ing them that they thought they would
have to hereafter charge the abutting
property for their maintenance. Here
in Minneapolis the park board not only
pay for improving the bOulevardS but
for Sprinkling and maintaining them
also. MIR. Loring said there was no reason
why the people who live on streets which
have been improved by the park COM
mission sOdding and planting out trees
should not pay for the improvements;
but instead, after giving them all these
improvements we turn in and pay for
the sprinkling and maintaining the
street, while the people who live on the
streets which are not bOulevardS have
to pay for improving them and then be
taxed for sprinkling and maintaining
them by an abutting property tax. Mr..
Sutherland said this was only scheme
to beat the Lyndale avenue boulevard,
and that he thought the boulevardS were
the most beautiful and useful part of
our park system; that any one
who has driven over the Hen
nepin boulevard would say it
Mr.. Loring said he thought the boule-
wards would be none the less beautiful
if paid for by the abutting property;
that he thought the park board could
find plenty of places to use all the
money they had in improving the parks
and acquiring more land for parks. He
called attention to the fact that the
labor picnic demonstrated the fact that
the city owned no place where large
crowd of people could assemble. MIR.
Sutherland offered resolution that
Lyndale avenue be ordered graded and
boulevardad from Western avenue to
ton was amended by Mayor Ames SO
that not more than $1,000 could be used
this summer. The resolution was then
adopted as amended. Mr.. Loring made
a motion giving the four park policemen
who have not contracts with the city to
the LIST of January, 1885, thirty days no
| tice that they would be no longer
wanted, Which was adopted.
Mr.. Boardman made a motion that
Superior avenue be graded and boule-
varded, which motion was loSt-9 to 2.
The attorney Of the board, John t.
ByrneS, made Il report on the disputed
claim OF the Tribune company for print
ing, saying that there was no reason
why the park board should pay any
| more for printing than the regular city
| rate for advertising. 1t was then Or
dered paid according to this rate.
Bills were paid amounting to 3,3S5.33.
The park at Powder Horn lake, which
has been advocated by Commissioner
Mitchell, was yesterday accepted by the
board. 1t takes in the entire lake, and

MUSIC NOTES.

Miss Annie Wilson, who is one of the
finest lady pianists in the city, will be
rendered benefit concert on the even
ing of Wednesday,, Oct. 10, in the music
hall over Dyer's store. The programme
SO far has not boon arranged, but it's
meritoriOus quality may be judged from
the performers who are to participate.
Porter, Prof. Woodruff, Karl A. West
rum, Miss Stoddard and many more
well known local musicians. Karl A.
WeStrum will make his debut to a MINI
neapOlis audience at this concert. Those
who have heard Mr.. Westrum say he is
violinist of great power and greater
promise. Although Norwegian by
birth, his musical education las been
acquired entirely in the schools of Ber-
lin, from which capital he has only ar
rived lately in this city. 1t is his inten-
ton of permanently residing here.
d. Shryock contemplates opening an
elementary class this winter for giving
lessons in sight singing, or, to speak
palmer, chorus work, but so far his
plans are in an embryotic condition.
The farewell concert that was to have
been given Ernest Lachmund at Har-
monia hall on the evening of the 18th
inst, has been postponed till the 18th
falls on the first date, and it would not
do to have these two important musical
events on the same evening.
Ernest Lachmond, next Sunday. will
play cello Solo-the Ave Maria Of
GuOnOd--at the Unitarian church. cor-s
ner OF Mary place and Eighth street.
There has been some talk during the
past month or so about forming an asso-5
citation of the musical instructors in the
city. 1t was at first taken hold of by
Prof. Morse, of the conservatory, but he
made poor impression as far as GET
ting any one to join, his manner to,
ward his brother musicians not being a.
very popular one. Prof. McFadden, of
the public schools, is now interested i'm
the matter, and he will most likely sue
ceed In bringing the association into
proper working order.
Carl Lachmund'S juvenile string Or
chestra, thirty strong and ranging in
age from boys of six to fifeeen years old.
will give concerts next Saturday and
the one following at the Exposition un-.
der the leadership of their organizer.
The first concert of the Exposition
chorus will be given on the evening of
the 10th inst, Monday, instead of
Wednesday as at first arranged. For.
this reason the rehearSalS are also
changed, the rehearsal with orchestral
accomplishments will take place to-mor-
row night and Rapf. Stempf requests a
large attendance.
The first concert of the chorus will
therefore take place Monday the 10th
lnst.,, and will include the Eoreley of
Mendelfohn, under the direction of Prof.
r. Stempf. The second concert will
take place Friday evening the 14th inst.
and its principal attraction will be RIOS
sius' "Stabat Mater" given under the
able direction of Frank DAM. :,
The Danz Military band will also per
form in the Exposition shortly, so local
talent will be well represented the lass
two weeks of the show. Their concerts
will commence Monday. Oct. 10. and

DAVID WILL DEPART.
He Says He Will Join Tammany
Hall and Rice.

Minneapolis is soon to lose the sun
light of the presence of Col. D. B. john
son. The little giant of oratory, the
young war eagle of the Democracy, the
aggressive and silver-tongued stump
speaker of the Fourth ward will shake
the dust of Minneapolis from his shoes
and go East. His law suit has been set
tied and the disclosure proceedings are
over. He gave check for the amount
and secured an acceptable endorser,
which satisfied everybody.
where are you gOing?" asked a
GLOBE reporter, when David announced
his intention of making move.
Il think I'll go to New Yorh. 1 am a
pretty good taIker and can 60 down
there and join the Tammany society and
rise in the world. There is always an
opening for good speakers"
David will be missed. Jonathan will
mourn him as brother. But here's
hoping he may become chief muck-a-
muck of Tammany hall.

AS A SINGER.
A Charming Accomplishment of
Judge Rea.

Judge Rea.
Judge Rea, the recently elected COM
mander of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, is a man of a somewhat emotion
al character. When Gen. John A.
Logan visited Minneapolis, and visited
the panorama of tine battle of Atlanta,
i'll which he is made the central figure,
mounted upon coal-black charger.
Judge Rea was inspired by the nature
of the situation. and burst into melody
of song, singing five or six verses to the
tune OF Marching Through Georgia.
The judge is not much of vocalist, but
he threw his whole soul into the song,
and was so earnest in his evident desire
to pay tribute to Logan that the entire
party was visibly affected, Gen. and
Mrs. Logan in particular, and what
would have otherwise appeared slightly
ridiculous was turned into really elo-
Quent incident.

Children to See the President.

At the adjourned meeting OF the board

on buildings reported that they, in COM
pany with Architect Kus, had visited
the high school building and investi-
gated the ventilating problem, and
agreed on what is known as the fan sys-
TEN, with galvanized iron ventilating
flues. After quite discussion ON this
matter, the report of the committee was
adopted and the contract let to j. S.
Kearney at 10 cents foot for furnish
